These are the same CEO's who complain about working-class people who unionize and negotiate decent pay and benefits for the people who make businesses run.
Are millions in Angie's List advertising expenses going into CEO Bill Oesterle pocket also? http://advanceindiana.blogspot.com/2013/05/ibj-exposes-self-dealing-by-angies-list.html?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
This is actually worse than is being reported. The properties were gifted to Oesterle with more than $4.6 million dollars in taxpayer money. So not only is he screwing his shareholders with inflated sale prices, but he is double dipping considering Mayor Ballard gifted him all the money to buy the property. Guess being politically connected (Campaign chairman to Mitch Daniels) gives you a license to steal and a get out of jail free pass. http://www.ibj.com/city-will-give-angies-list-46-million-for-real-estate/PARAMS/article/28944
